Re: Bowl games & players to watch
As far as Maryland players go:
Dre Moore is a workhorse. Run stopper and a good inside pass rusher and quick for a guy his size (6-4/311/4.9 40). Top 10 DT in the country, probably a mid to late 2nd round guy, maybe higher if he has a good combine.
Erin Henderson is a junior, but a man-child like his brother was. Inside linebacker in a 3-4, but can play outside as well. Some say he's better than EJ...
Keon Lattimore (Ray Lewis' brother) and Lance Ball will split the carries in the backfield. Lattimore is the slasher and Ball is the bulldozer. Both seniors looks to be mid to late round draftees in April, and could be servicable backups and Practice Squad guys next year.
Joey Haynos is their 6-8 tight end. Big target, good blocker and pass catcher. Should be drafted in the late rounds based on his size.
Chris Turner has turned into a pleasant surprise at QB, with Steffy never living up to his potential, and Josh Portis (Clinton's brother) being declared ineligible.
They'll have their hands full with Oregon State, but if the defense can hold up, Turner should be able to help leads the Terps to a W.
